Does Isover's spacer sleeve provide an air gap (facade board)?
So you don't trust any research because there is always someone behind it?SBH said:
Of course, one should be critical of facts.
But when all studies show the same result. I've produced several without trying hard, and you haven't managed to come up with anything that supports your theories.
Doesn't that tell you something?
I have no theories. Just building facades that stand without any problems. Building facades on the west coast and facades in Norrland.H hul said:So you don't trust any research because there is always someone behind it?

I follow what K-drawings tell me. During my years, I have never installed panels with crossed battens.
But just because you haven't done it doesn't mean it's correct?SBH said:
Advice and opinions change all the time, or do you build the same way you did when you started in the industry?
Can you answer what the other conditions are with facade boards/stone and steel profiles?
And why are they perforated?
There are different installations for façade panels. But the majority are mounted tightly against the batten (sometimes also with strip/band). A wooden panel does not become tight in the same way.H hul said:
Yes, they are often mounted tightly against the battens. But the battens are always perforated.SBH said:
My question is, why are they perforated?
No, boards do not fit tightly, they are often mounted with a 5mm gap around the entire board against adjacent boards. So much more air comes in than what comes in through a wood panel.SBH said:
How do you explain that?
a bit hard to see your image writing over the mobile, but it probably fits.SBH said:
but I think we drop this now, right?
Neither of us will obviously convince the other.
I hope I've opened the eyes for a few in the forum so if there's someone who wants to discuss further or just have a little help regarding building physics or similar, just write in the thread or PM.
Okay. You mount 4-6mm on a sealing strip. Which doesn't let in airH hul said:a bit hard to see your picture writing on the phone, but it could probably be correct.

Neither of us is clearly going to convince the other.

Don't pretend hul, hopefully nothing is unclear in that post to someone with your capacities. That you are playing with SBH in some sort of ring game may be the case but from my point of view, it looks extremely dull if not silly. I wrote earlier and now just to signal a bit that it isn't moving forward as you are carrying on.H hul said:Didn't understand much in that post but I'll try to answer the little that was understandable, the rest you'll need to rephrase so we can try to answer.
Have we said that moisture doesn't transport in all directions?
The vertical battens are used to create the possibility for moisture to move in all directions and not be trapped.
How do you mean one has failed if a wide air gap is needed?
Two-stage sealed houses exist for a reason and there the wide air gap is an incredibly important part of two-stage sealed facades. Without it, the entire function disappears.
It doesn't interest me enough and also doesn't add any value to the thread for me to join in this chatter. The only difference would be that it would soon crystallize into a significantly more fact-based direction where each party would directly have to show through their answers and rough calculations what they mean. And then some lab walls under conditions that can quite easily be questioned regarding their relevance in real-life walls won't help.
You can PM each other instead of all these short posts with little value at least for me as a reader. Yes, continue if you want, there’s nothing forcing me to read, but still.
